What is a Sequence?

A Sequence is a list of things (usually numbers) that are in order.

A Rule

A Sequence usually has a Rule, which is a way to find the value of each term.

 

Example: the sequence {3, 5, 7, 9, ...} starts at 3 and jumps 2 every time:

 

Extending Tables

 

Use the given rule to fill in the missing values.

Subtract 7
Input (x)	Output (y)
10
17
13
9

The rule is "Subtract 7".
This means that you need to subtract 7 from x (the input) to get y (the output).

10 → 10 - 7 → 3 17 → 17 - 7 → 10 13 → 13 - 7 → 6 9 → 9 - 7 → 2

So the answer is

Subtract 7 Input (x) Output (y) 10 17 13 9
